Blog post is an essential part of every successful Blogger , you can't possibly be a great blogger without Blog post , just like important elements of marketing strategy is the development of an ideal customer profile.
Talking about blog post not just any blog post but a well-written , organized content and the kind that target the right audience provide value, solve a long term problem that’s what i'm talking about.
Now here is the thing :
You might write about Top take-aways from whatever , myth &facts or even advise from experts but the bottom line is to get your audience to read it , acknowledged your thoughts or even made a few sales ,
Not every post is going to get your motor running. Some posts will feel like a chore, but if you have editorial control over what you write about, then choose topics you'd want to read.
So to get over all of this i have compile together ways to get you write your blog post in more less-boring way (sometimes writing can be boring even with the topic you love) so let's get started....
1. Pick a topic you want to write about.
There are many reasons you would like or not like to write about a topic but some are indescribable , for me there are topics that i personally don't want to write about not because i don't have the knowledge to write about them but because i just don’t feel like writing them ( maybe there is a little passion in there ) but the important thing is to pick a topic you're passionate about.
2. Research more.....
The No.1 key i consider when writing a blog post is that i am not perfect , so though i might have an in-depth knowledge of what i want to write about but i make it a point when writing a blog post that i don't know anything so i start researching for that particular topic just like a normal person trying to know something until i feel comfortable with the knowledge i had consume on top of the one i had then i start writing.
3. Outline your work.
Outlining your work really save you alot of time when writing a blog post , it's a rough idea that keeps you on track to make sure you don't ramble on and on about something nearly unrelated , outline keep you focused on the overall structure of your post.
4. Proof check facts credibility
Your credibility and authority will take a major hit if you publish inaccurate information, and even if you have a blog with millions of loyal readers, your regulars will be all too eager to jump all over your mistake – just take a look in the comment sections of publications such as TechCrunch to see how quickly this can happen.
5. Use images
Using images can come in Handy as they help to explain things more better, it's great for user-experience and the reader is more likely to remember an image demonstrations than a chunk of words.
6. Write a catchy blog post title

Before we jump to types of blog post to run a successful Blog lets first look at the Blog post title formulars
Why You Need A Powerful Blog post Title ?
Blog post titles are important when it comes to Search engine optimization (Seo) , i know you might have come across this alot especially if you are being curious about the whole SEO thing , but there is a reason this is being talked-about most of the time Because of the constant policy amendments from google and the spikes in number of bloggers , recently there has been alot of newbies in the field of blogging and i have seen quite a lot of people using the wrong keywords in their post , like what's in the body is not even related to what in the post titles.
So i've compile a fomular to make this works
What you should put in mind when writing a blog post titles and what works
This might be something that you might experience yourself but have you ever notice that when you did a search on google although the first result have the highest probability of getting clicked but you tend to choose the result that is most intriguing and captures your eyes the most.
That is why if 10 visitors see your blog post title 8/10 people will first read the title and only 2/10 people will read the article. Hence writing a blog post title that grabs eyeballs is very necessary if you want to get more traffic.
So for that reason You should definitely have a targeted keyword phrase, preferably a long tail keyword.
Keep in mind that when you write a blog post title for SEO, there is another half to the traffic equation. The way a title grabs a visitor.
What you should include in your Blog post Title.
It really depends on what your blog post is all about and what information you want to share with the world But you should narrow down your keywords and it usually comes down to this 4 steps to consider in deciding your blog post title
1. Informational
people use this alot when they want to find information about something and they use words like :
How
Who
where
tips
examples
guide
tutorials
2. Navigational
usually used when people want to find a name of product or a particular brand like google , facebook , wordpress and a handful of other's
3. Commercial
Words like pricing , review ,top , best, comparison are very handy in commercial .
4. Transactional
In Transactional as you might have guess words like buy , coupon , order , purchase , cheap , price will save alot of time .
But still Using only this keywords is not enough the title has to offer them some form of benefit, and it has to draw them in.

Getting traffic is tough , keeping them engaged via good blog post title on your blog shouldn't be that tough. (But it is) Luckily there are few tips and tricks to write a blog post title that works.
